I don't even think they need to block too well because, playing tight end, we're not going to run too many sweeps or runs overtop of them where they need to drive block; it's just more a matter of shielding a defender off while Hill explodes through the line.

Then you'll probably be even more uncomfortable in the season because Hue LOVES two tight end sets, so I'm pretty sure that that will be a staple of our offense this season.

They'll both be ready when called on and their both great players.  Tight end (in the receiving aspect) is probably one of the easiest transitions from college to the NFL.

You guys are underestimating his talent level. There was a reason why he was clearly the best TE in that draft and he will prove it i believe this season.

I agree.

Eifert is a machine as a receiving tight end.  I just hope that we use him and Kroft/Uzomah properly (coughcoughUPTHESEAMScoughcough).
